Epidemiologic studies have revealed a tremendous increase in the prevalence of diabetes and related mortality worldwide. In order to meet all the challenges in the treatment of metabolic diseases in China, the National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) was founded in 2016. The objective of the MMC is to launch a new metabolic disease management model based on the Internet health information platform. It allows the application and evaluation of diabetes treatment strategies at these centers. The proprietary electronic medical database in the MMC will help the dynamic big-data analysis in diabetes epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It will also provide prospective data support including economic evaluation in management of chronic diseases for the Healthy China 2030 strategy. Objective 1. The purpose of the present study is to establish a multi-center nationwide prospective database of diabetes patients in MMCs, including clinical data, biological samples library so as to explore the epidemiology, genetics, new biomarkers, risk factors, and prognostic methods related to diabetes and its complications, as well as other metabolic diseases. 2. To collect cross-sectional data from patients seen and treated at each MMC centers so as to evaluate: the current status of care of patients with diabetes and its related complications, as well as other risk factors treatment strategies at these centers. Patients'costs and quality of life (QoL) will also be evaluated. 3. To collect the prospective data of patients treated at each MMC centers in order to evaluate the strategies for the achievement of treatment goals, changes in management, control of risk factors, incidence and progression of all-diabetes related clinical endpoints (including mortality), behavioral changes, psychological well being as well as costs and QoL.
This is a multicentre observational study to investigate the improvement in glucose fluctuation of sufficient acarbose therapy on type 2 diabetes patient with high blood glucose fluctuation
This study is designed as a prospective, observational, multi-centre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Teneligliptin when switched from other DPP-4 inhibitors in type 2 DM with inadequate glycemic control
PIRAMIDE study design will test the hypothesis that simultaneous interactions between DNA methylation and microRNAs may hit T2D candidate genes and predict the development of T2D-related cardiovascular complications.
Agonistic activation of fat metabolite responsive G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) has been linked to improved glucose metabolism through increased glucose-stimulated-insulin-secreting (GSIS) and incretin release, improved insulin sensitivity and reduced low grade inflammation. In vitro studies have demonstrated that pinolenic acid (20% of pine nut oil) is a potent dual agonist of two GPCRs: free fatty acid receptor-1 (FFA1, formerly GPR40) and free fatty acid receptor-4 (FFA4, formerly GPR120). Moreover, pinolenic acid was able to improve glucose tolerance in mice. G-protein-coupled receptor-119 (GPR119) is known to be activated by the monoacylglycerol: 2-oleoylglycerol (2OG), which is a glycerol molecule attached to oleic acid in the second position. Olive oil contains 61-80% oleic acid, and under digestion 2OG is produced. 2OG has been shown to stimulate GLP-1 release in humans and interestingly, it has recently been suggest that simultaneous activation of GPR119 and FFA1 acts in synergy and enhances enteroendocrine GLP-1 secretion more than the summarized individual agonistic activation. However, this remains to be evaluated in humans. The investigators hypothesize that a combination of pinolenic acid and 2OG administered in delayed release capsules will act in synergy and enhance 1) GLP-1 secretion by stimulating FFA1/FFA4 and GPR119 on enteroendocrine cells causing improved GSIS and increased satiety and 2) enhance GSIS by directly stimulating FFA1 and GPR119 on beta-cells. Study aim: To investigate the acute effects of pinolenic acid combined with 2OG (olive oil) versus pinolenic acid alone on changes in glucose tolerance, insulin, GLP-1, GIP and ghrelin secretion, appetite and gastrointestinal tolerability in overweight and obese healthy humans.
Metformin has been used in Sweden since 1957, and it is recommended as first line therapy for type 2-diabetes (T2D) in national and international guidelines. However, adverse effects involving diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and abdominal pain are common which leads to discontinuation of medication or not being able to reach therapeutic doses. Here the investigators will perform a prospective study to investigate whether i) participants with T2D who experience adverse events following metformin treatment have an altered microbiota at baseline compared to participants without adverse events and ii) if the microbiota is altered in participants during onset of adverse events. The investigators hypothesis is that adverse effects associated with metformin are caused by an altered gut microbiota, either at base line or following metformin treatment. The study design is a nested case-cohort study. The investigators will recruit 600 patients and expect 200 individuals to have side effects and 400 without during a 24-month study period. Fecal samples will be collected at baseline, 2 months, and 4 months or when gastrointestinal symptoms occur. All fecal samples will be sequenced by 16s rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) sequencing to obtain a baseline microbiota profile; a subpopulation consisting of homogenous groups of participants will be in depth-analyzed using shotgun sequencing. If the hypothesis is confirmed this project may lead to bacterial therapies that will allow more patients tolerate metformin.
The investigators will study the influence of initial fat cell size/number and adipose function (in particular lipolysis) on weight development over very long time periods (years). By comparing investigations of fat biopsies or blood samples obtained at baseline, the investigators will determine the association between adipose morphology/function and changes in weight or development of metabolic complications (e.g. metabolic syndrome, glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension).
One of the purposes of the management of the patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD)is to slow the decline of renal function. The mechanisms by which the renal function declines involve inflammatory and fibrotic responses due in part by the effects of oxidative stress. Pentoxifylline (PTX)is a drug that stimulates adenosine receptors, and produces inhibition of phosphodiesterases, as well as being a dopaminergic modulator through D1 and D2 receptors. Its main effects are inhibition of the inflammatory state by decreasing serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-ɒ) and monocyte chemo attractant protein 1 (MCP_1), which may slow down the decline of renal function. It also produces diminish of sympathetic activity, with the reduction of circulating levels of norepinephrine (NA), which may contribute to the reduction of glomerulosclerosis in diabetic patients. In the connective tissue increases the activity of the collagenases and decrease of collagen, fibronectin and glucosamine of the fibroblasts as well as inhibition of oxygen free radicals. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects, PTX can result in an excellent therapeutic option for the prevention of CKD in DM2. This work proposes the use of pentoxifylline as treatment CKD in DM2. Its application in patients with CKD will allow a therapeutic management with different targets, for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects that will be evaluated by means of fibrosis, inflammation and oxidative stress markers. The results will be of great importance in clinical practice, since they will justify the use of a new pharmacological tool, already known, with minimal adverse effects and low cost, accessible to all strata of the population since it is found as generic.
This is a prospective and observational study in patients with type two diabetes. The study hypothesis is that chronic hyperglycemia causes an increase in the microcirculation on the carotid artery wall and retina, evaluated by angio-OCT. Furthermore, the reestablishment of normoglycemia would decrease this microcirculation, which could trigger hypoxic and ischemic changes, accelerating preclinical atherosclerosis. The study goal is to describe the microangiopathy in both territories in patients with type two diabetes and chronic hyperglycemia, and to evaluate changes after the reestablishment of normoglycemia.
